The Disappearence Of Rituals English A Topology Of The Present
Han, Byung Chul
The Disappearence Of Rituals A Topology Of The Present English - Cambridge Polity Press 2019 - VI, 104pp
Untrammelled neoliberalism and the inexorable force of production have produced a 21st century crisis of community: a narcissistic cult of authenticity and mass turning-inward are among the pathologies engendered by it. We are individuals afloat in an atomised society, where the loss of the symbolic structures inherent in ritual behaviour has led to overdependence on the contingent to steer identity.
